with- each bullet. We need to extract bullet points from "What You'll Do". The text includes multiple sentences separated by line breaks? Let's parse: Own and deliver an ambiguous, very large, and complex program that spans multiple organizations and technology domains, serving as the single-threaded owner for all program-level milestones across several bespoke business workstreams (including international and domestic theatrical distribution, third-party content licensing, development and production, streaming, and production facilities). Design and own the end-to-end data migration and cutover strategy that moves all financial data (master, transactional, and reference data) from legacy systems to the consolidated platform, spanning the full stack across business, middleware, financial automation, downstream financial infrastructure, and legacy systems to deprecate. Develop workback plans per workstream, sequence migrations to manage operational risk, and coordinate with the studio's legal entity restructure, owning the sequencing trade-offs of its circular dependency with the program's builds. Own the standardization and graduation framework — define deal-type primitives, establish system-of-record boundaries, enforce standard-versus-exception rules, and determine when each workstream is ready to transition from the program to BAU ownership. Identify risks and opportunities in technical strategies, system architectures, and engineering organizational structures, resolving cross-workstream dependencies and engineering capacity gaps. Influence and advise VP-level leadership across multiple Finance Technology and Studios Technology organizations — plus Finance, Accounting, Tax, and FinOps — on technical investment decisions, organizational alignment, and long-term platform strategy, making priority calls based on business value, partner readiness, and platform reuse. Author the program's strategic narratives, define program-level tenets, and run the operating cadence (monthly and quarterly business reviews with senior leadership, and ad-hoc executive escalations). Drive clarity in a highly ambiguous environment where business strategy, architectural approach, and even the problem definition may not yet exist. Thus we can list each as

Next "What You Bring" is qualifications/requirements. It includes:
10+ years of technical program management experience, with a demonstrated track record of delivering very large, cross-organizational programs.
Deep expertise in large-scale systems and platform architecture, and the ability to evaluate and influence architectural strategies across multiple engineering organizations.
Executive-level communication and influence skills, with experience advising VP-level leaders and aligning competing priorities across organizational boundaries — without direct line authority.
Strong business acumen with the ability to connect technical decisions to business outcomes at scale.
Experience making irreversible sequencing decisions in complex migrations and managing controllership and operational risk.
Also "Basic Qualifications" list:
10+ years of working directly with engineering teams experience
10+ years of technical product or program management experience
5+ years of software development experience
Experience designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems
Experience managing programs across cross functional teams, building processes and coordinating release schedules
Experience owning/driving roadmap strategy and definition
"Preferred Qualifications" list:
10+ years of hands-on work managing complex technology projects experience
Experience managing projects across cross functional teams, building sustainable processes and coordinating release schedules
Experience working at a TV Network, broadcaster, or an online streaming platform, specializing in digital video delivery or streaming media technologies
We need to decide sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have "Basic Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine into Qualifications section. Also "What You Bring" could be Requirements or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we need to decide which sections to include.
We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe from "What You Bring"), Qualifications (basic and preferred), Skills (maybe from "What You Bring" also includes communication, business acumen, etc). Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave." Also earlier: "Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs)." So we have benefits content.
Pay: "The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. USA, CA, Culver City - 177,000.00 - 239,400.00 USD annually". So we have pay range.
Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section.
We also need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, legal, etc. Remove those.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the description, but we can combine similar points.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not.
We must not put Job ID as heading; we can drop it or put in a short p. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short p with Job ID maybe but better to drop it. We'll drop. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus final HTML:
